This will help you:

Use LIKE before a noun or pronoun. Use AS before a clause, adverb or prepositional phrase.

In A and B the language used doesn't look simple, in C, LIKE is followed by THEY which is not the word that is being compared to MALE CHILDREN, E doesn't convey the complete meanin. Option D has everything right in place, AS followed by THEY DISCIPLINE.

Use of 'would' adds uncertainity to the sentence, whereas in the original sentence the meaning is certain. 'parents discipline male children similarly to the fashion in which they discipline'

i picked D also, however the Kaplan verbal workbook says that the correct answer is E, because D changes the meaning...
I still believe D is the correct answer
